How to Replace the Windshield Wipers on a 4Runner
While driving down the road it can be quite an inconvenience to realize your windshield wipers are worn out when it begins to rain. A quick splash of water on your windshield can be enough to impair your view of the road long enough for an accident. Replacing the windshield wipers on your Toyota 4Runner is very easy and costs about $10 for new windshield wipers. Check your wipers monthly to make sure the rubber wiper is still fastened to the metal windshield wiper bow. If the rubber is frayed or beginning to separate, then it is time to buy a new windshield wiper.
